Lots SIS Each.
An Unprecedented Opportunity.

suitable Tor advertising California and
its resources, we have chosen Minneap-
oils and st. Paul as being the capital
cities of the great Northwest, and we pro-
pose as the first step towards Introducing
ourselves to the public to absolutely
give to each and every applicant town
lot in the town of Santa Margarita, in
Southern California. This town is stu
ated in Kern county. adjoining Los
Angeles on the north, and the Southern
Pacific railroad intersects it, almost di-
yidlng the town in two equal parts. The
location is one of the very best for the
establishment of a great town, inasmuch
as it is on the main line of travel be-
tween the East and San Francisco, is
easily accessible to Los Angeles and
San Francisco both, and is supported by
a country unrivaled by any other in the
beauty and variety of its fruit products.
Kern county is just beginning to feel
the wave of prosperity which has rolled
upon Los Angeles county, bringing
about development the equal of
which the world never saw before, and it
is destined soon to be as thickly pOpu-
LACED and will enjoy the same remarka-
BILE growth which has characterized Los
Angeles the past five years. The soil,
climate and productions of Kern county
are identical with those of Los Angeles
indeed, so far as the extent of fertile
soil is concerned, it is far ahead of that
county. The orange, the lemon, and the
pOmegranate find natural home in
Kern, and its vineyards are among the
finest to be found in all California, while
its alfalfa fields are justly celebrated as
being the largest and best in all the
world. Strawberries may be had OH
every day of every month of the year
with the exception of February and
March. Flowers bloom the year round
in the open air, it is a perpetual garden
of roses. This is the county that pro-
duces the renowned race horses owned
by j. L. Haggin, and his alfalfa fields,
his vineyards. orange groves and Or
chards are within ten miles of Santa
Margarita. Pears, peaches, prunes, ap-
ricotS and cherries grow here in the
greatest abundance, the system of irri-
CATION is absolutely perfect, while arte-
sian water may be had at from 800 to 700
feet in any part of the county.
The climate of Southern California
has been so often described that it seems
almost useless to speak of that in this
connection, but it may be truly said the
like of it is not to be found in any other
part of the earth. There is neither eX-
IRENE heat nor extreme cold; no ice, no
SNOW, no cold winds, no damp, foggy
weather. How can such climate be
improved? People who live in cold eli
mates can scarcely realize the truth OF
these statements, yet they are all
susceptible of easy demonstration. And
now as to the town of Santa Margarita.
1t has been recently laid out, and of
course, has more of future than past
history, but as to what that history will
be let him who doubts that it will be-
come ffOuriShing town examine the
fortunes of the various towns along the
same line of railroad in Los Angeles
county. More than twenty towns be-
tween Cotton and Los Angeles have
and for distance of fifty miles these
towns have grown until they. liter
ally blend into each other, and lots
which could be bought five years ago
from 50 to $40 each are now worth from
$500 TO $4,000 apiece. This is history
and not fiction. And what has
taken place in Los Angeles county
will just as certainly happen in Kern
county; for the advantages, as has been
shown, are as great, if not greater, in
Kern than in Los Angeles. Every one
should have one or more of these lots,
and should have one in the name of
each of their children. Whether you
ever see or expect to see California
makes no difference. Your lot will re-
main there, and you will be able to
share the prosperity of what is des-
tined to be the great fruit and wine
country of the globe. And now word
as to why we give these lots away. 1t
is simply because we wish to interest
you in our state. We have lands to sell
and hope some of you or your friends
may be induced to come to our state and
buy. We might give each of you case
of wine or box of fruit; but we prefer
to give you lot, tangible possession,
something that you can keep, and that
will not perish. Our idea is to bring
about immigration to our state. We
want the energetic and wide awake peo-
pie of this country to come and assist in
the development of the immense re-
sources of California. Each one of you
may have at least small possession to
which you may look, and to which you
may some day go and there sit in the
shade of your own vine and fig tree.
Of course the number of these lots is
limited, and persons desiring them must
make early application.
Those having any doubt as to the
bona fide character of the gift will
oblige us by calling and examining our
letters and credentials. The only ex-
pense to you will be for the legal ex-
pense of executing and acknowledging
the deed, which is S.. Title perfect.
Come and examine our map and the
beautiful views of Kern county, ON ex-
hibition at our Office.
Ask questions. We are here to give
information. We have plenty of time
and will tell you ali you wish to know.
Deeds will be issued every day between
ga. m. and Z p. m. These lots are
decided Internationally. You can do
with your property what you please
build on it OF let it alone. Persons liv-
ing in st. Paul or elsewhere can receive
their deeds by sending postal order or
draft to cover the cost of the lots they
may wish. We are receiving daily Or
ders from all over the Northwest, and
we select. in such cases, the very best
lots to be had. We treat all alike.
